Tebow is the absolute best thing ever to happen to Mark Sanchez. If so many people weren't distracted by the Tebow side show, the steaming pile of shit that is Mark Sanchez would smell even worse with the spotlight shining on it. Please stop writing garbage like "Why should the Jets start a player they do not think is a starting QB?". The answer, which is clearly seen by anyone who isn't a drooling retard, is that the Jets have been starting a player that NOBODY thinks can be a starting qb (Sanchez). You cannot avoid questions about why you don't start a QB who "everyone" thinks is terrible when you start a different QB that "everyone" *knows* is terrible. That being said, if I never hear the word "Tebow" or "Sanchez" mentioned again in the same sentence as "The Jets", I'll be very happy.
Denver had a great defense? They finished 24th in the NFL in scoring defense, 20th in total yards given up per game, 18th in passing yards allowed per game, 22nd in rushing yards given up per game ... and they stunk even worse before Tebow took over and improved the Broncos running game. :rofl:
The fact that the Jets had a back who could catch the ball, pick up a blitz and help his QB and did and it was a huge part of our O seems to go missing on most Jets fans. We don't have a Full back who can take a swing pass or a running back who can pick up the blitz let alone have a clue how to drift into space to help their QB. Add in a young, inexperienced WR corp and a weak running game at best and you have a recipe for dissaster. The fact that we have a RT and LG who should be on the practice squad is another issue. None of this makes Sanchez a franchise QB who should have been drafted at 5. He is a second tier NFL talent, but none of it has helped him have a fighting chance of becoming at least an efficient game manager with the kind of live arm that can exploit teams that cheat up against the run.
So wrong it's funny. The best thing for Sanchez would have been a backup who was a backup with experience and could step in a fill the void easily. We would have made the switch to Drew Stanton so much quicker than the ARZ game if Tebow wasn't the backup. And arguably the best thing to happen to Sanchez was the contract he received this past offseason. This right here. Sanchez was never great, but it's not like we kept on putting him in a position to look great. We depleted the roster after his second year for whatever terrible reason.
